In India, buying gold is not just a purchase—it’s an emotion, an investment, and a symbol of trust. Whether you’re buying jewellery for weddings, savings, or gifts, purity matters most. A gold jewellery hallmark assures that your gold is genuine and certified by the government. Every piece you buy from reputed jewellers like Dream Ticket Pvt Ltd under their Gold Jewellery Subscription Plan carries this hallmark of trust and purity.
What Is a Gold Jewellery Hallmark?
A gold jewellery hallmark is an official mark that certifies the purity and fineness of gold. In India, this process is regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). When you see a BIS hallmark on a gold ornament, it means the item has been tested and verified for purity at an authorized hallmarking centre.
This small mark holds big value—it’s proof that your gold meets national quality standards.
Why Hallmarking Matters in Gold Jewellery

When you buy gold, you deserve complete transparency. Hallmarking ensures that. A BIS-hallmarked piece gives you the confidence that what you’re paying for is pure and trustworthy.
Key Reasons Why Hallmarking Matters
- Guarantees Purity: Verifies gold’s karat and fineness level.
- Protects Your Investment: Hallmarked jewellery offers better resale and exchange value.
- Prevents Fraud: Ensures customers don’t receive adulterated or impure gold.
- Increases Credibility: Builds lifelong trust between jeweller and buyer.
For those investing through flexible savings options like the Gold Jewellery Subscription Plan, hallmarking ensures every instalment goes toward 100% pure and verified gold.
How to Identify a Hallmarked Gold Jewellery Piece

Understanding Hallmark Symbols
Each BIS-hallmarked gold item has specific symbols engraved on it that confirm its authenticity:
- BIS Logo – The official certification mark of the Bureau of Indian Standards.
- Gold Jewellery Purity – For example, “916” for 22K gold, “750” for 18K gold.
- Assaying Centre’s Mark – Indicates the testing centre where gold was verified.
- Jeweller’s Identification Code – Represents the jeweller’s registration with BIS.
- HUID Number – A unique 6-digit code that can be verified online.
How to Verify Hallmark Authenticity
Checking your gold’s authenticity is now easy with the BIS Care App.
Follow these steps:
- Find the 6-digit HUID number on your jewellery.
- Open the BIS Care App on your phone.
- Enter the number to view purity, jeweller’s name, and hallmarking centre details.
If the information matches, your gold is genuine and BIS-certified.
Difference Between Hallmarked and Non-Hallmarked Gold

| Feature | Hallmarked Gold | Non-Hallmarked Gold |
| Purity | Verified by BIS | Not Certified |
| Trust | High | Unreliable |
| Resale Value | Better | Lower |
| Transparency | Full | Unclear |
| Risk | Minimal | High |
Always choose authentic hallmark jewellery for guaranteed purity and long-term value.
The Hallmarking Process in India
The hallmarking process ensures every certified gold item meets BIS quality standards.
Steps Involved:
- Jeweller submits items to a BIS-authorized testing centre.
- Each piece is tested for purity and composition.
- The hallmark and unique HUID are applied after verification.
- The details are stored in the BIS database for traceability.
This process ensures that every BIS-hallmarked piece is authentic and traceable.
Common Misconceptions About Gold Hallmarking
Despite awareness, many misconceptions still exist about hallmarking:
- Myth 1: Hallmark means brand guarantee — Fact: It only certifies purity, not craftsmanship.
- Myth 2: All stamps are real — Fact: Fake hallmarks exist; always verify via BIS Care app.
- Myth 3: 24K is better for jewellery — Fact: 22K (916) is ideal; 24K is too soft for ornaments.
